Why?


I don't want to read a newspaper where the owner is suppressing -- well, anything -- because of concerns for how it might affect his fortune. I want the owner walled off.


Well you have been. The consent was always being manufactured. A certain controversial fellow by the name of Chomsky pointed out decades ago that media would inevitably reflect biases of their owners and staff, and the needs to be a for profit business.

It would seem you didn't care or notice because there previously wasn't an opinion conflict with the owners.


Everything ever written reflects biases. That isn't the interesting part.
